Anime Punch! is an organization that began as an offshoot of Animate!, The Ohio State University's anime club. After a small initial event held in the Ohio Union on the OSU campus in early 2005, initial plans were made to hold a larger, apocalypse-themed Armageddicon. Anime Punch! claims to focus almost exclusively on anime, eschewing the recent trend of conventions to attempt to cover anything and everything remotely related to Japan.
